Reviews
We got one shot at a newborn session and she nailed it!
— Aaron & Cindy
She came to our home and made the entire process so wonderful, even allowing us to take a nap while she completed our newborn session – which was much needed especially during the newborn trenches!
— Rachael
Melissa is a talented photographer, and her compassion, kind demeanor, and love of her career shine through in her work.
